Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. View towards Pacific Palisades fire from the Pacific Coast Highway and Porto Marina Way, with Thelma Todds Cafe on the right. Black and gray smoke fills the sky beyond the structures of the hills covered in trees. One truck drives towards the smoke, and on the other side of the road a steady stream of traffic is driving the opposite direction. Similar photograph appears with the headline, "Wind-Lashed Brush Fires Destroy Malibu Homes, Arrowhead Springs Hotel," Los Angeles Times, 24 Nov 1938: 36. Text from negative sleeve: 15198 1938 Topanga Malibu fire (one or more removed for cleaning)
